What's the difference between immune and immutable?

Immune


Definition:

  • (a.) Exempt; protected by inoculation.

Example Sentences:

  • (13) Release of 51Cr was apparently a function of immune thymus-derived lymphocytes (T cells) because it was abrogated by prior incubation of spleen cells with anti-thymus antiserum and complement but was undiminished by passage of spleen cells through nylon-wool columns.

Immutable


Definition:

  • (a.) Not mutable; not capable or susceptible of change; unchangeable; unalterable.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The finding that spontaneous changes in this dimension are relatively common raises the possibility that classical attitudes concerning the immutability of osseous relationships in the symphyseal region during growth may be inappropriate.

  • (3) We do a disservice to the cause of justice by intimating that bias and discrimination are immutable, or that racial division is inherent to America.

  • (5) Such events are quite discordant with classical cytogenetic theories, which assume all chromosome rearrangements to require at least two breaks and consider centromeres and telomeres as immutable structures rather than structures determined by mutable DNA sequences.

  • (15) As a result, their responses do not bear an immutable relationship to the nature of the stimulus or other variable being modified; stimuli and activities that are rewarding in certain circumstances are avoided in others.
  • (16) Such findings have bolstered what is currently the most popular theoretical approach to retarded functioning-namely, the view that all retardates suffer from some specific defect which inheres in mental retardation and thus makes the retardate immutably "different" from normals, even when the general level of intellectual development is controlled.
